Let’s Play Diet Ad Bingo!

While many of us are spending lots more time at home, I thought it might be a good time to play a little Diet Ad Bingo:

I have become incredibly annoyed with all of the diet ads that I get bombarded with every day (dude, magical weight loss tea is not a "movement' that people can "join", what the effing crap.)

Whenever they are online I mark them as "misleading" or, at least, "I don't want to see this" and hide them. Unfortunately, plenty of the ads are not deletable - magazines at the grocery store, billboards, even diet ads at the movies now. So I decided the next best thing to deleting them is making them into a game.

In that spirit, I offer the Diet Ad BINGO card below. You'll note that "Disclaimer" is the free space because, since they don't work, they all have some sort of disclaimer/fine print (like " results not even close to typical" or " this diet may kill you.") As always, people are allowed to diet if they choose ( underpants rule!), and people are allowed to poke fun at the diet industry which makes over $60 Billion a year selling a product that is such a failure that they are legally required to say that it doesn't work every time they advertise it.

Happy BINGO-ing:
